I was a French and Spanish teacher for ten years, for IGCSE, A level, Pre U and IB. I now run my own resource-publishing and editorial business, but I continue a connection with teaching in a tutorial capacity and as an examiner for CIE.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
French, Spanish, Theory of Knowledge, Journalism, general essay-writing (in French and Spanish, but also English). I am also an experienced historical researcher, having begun a study on 19th century Argentina, and a copywriter / journalist.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
Modern Languages Degree (French and Spanish) - University of Bristol
PGCE (Modern Languages) - Oxford University
Early stages of a PhD - University of Bristol
- How much do you charge?
£30-£45 per hour, depending on travel costs and subject. Discounts available for group lessons, and for follow-up tutorials on Skype.
- Where do you teach?
I live between Marlborough, Pewsey and Devizes, but travel regularly to London, Bath and Bristol. Tutoring is therefore possible in these locations, but I am less flexible on times - I will have to arrange several tutorials in a row to make it viable. I can teach at home or at students' homes.
- When are you available?
All year - flexible hours (i.e. I can do evenings and many weekends) to fit around my business and family, as well as holidays (generally not available second half of August, but other school holidays are possible). Travel to Bath, Bristol and London only feasible if I arrange a series of tutorials.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
11-23+ (Secondary to graduate).
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
GCSE, IGCSE (Cambridge and Edexcel), AS and A2 levels (AQA, Edexcel and others), Pre U, IB Language B, EFL, French and Spanish undergraduate degrees - for language work, cultural topics and general essay-writing. I am comfortable with a range of cultural topics in both languages.
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I can tutor on Skype.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
I am a helpful, enabling person, and understand the difficulties encountered in learning a language, particularly for an exam, having taught a wide range of abilities in the past 10 years. But I also know that you can feel satisfaction at 'getting it', as well as a sense that a language is a usable, lifelong skill. I will make you work hard rather than do it for you, but my aim is for you to feel proud of your progress and confident at the end of the tutorial process.
